Doting on your wife to no end: The evil regent is reborn and is too clingy

"...Miss Song, have you ever thought about a question?"

Lin'an originally wanted to sit down, but when he caught a glimpse of Old Madam Han outside the pavilion, he remembered that he was here to be "held accountable", so he stood up immediately as his butt touched the stool.

"Please speak clearly, Your Highness the Princess." Song Xiangyi said.

"Did Han Xiucheng and Liu Mianmian meet at the border, or did they go to the border after meeting each other?"

"According to him, they met at the border. Liu saved the prince's life several times and accompanied him through various difficult times. The prince relied on her company to get to where he is today."

"Is it possible that they met in Beijing?"

The year Han Xiucheng left Beijing, the late emperor's crown prince was still alive, Mo Chengying had not returned to Beijing, and the capital had not yet experienced major changes.

As the emperor's teacher, Song Taifu was ordered to teach the prince. The Song family was not at its peak in the court, but for the Song family, it had indeed reached its peak.

The Han and Song families got married at that time.

The Daxia law has strict restrictions on men taking concubines. A man must be over 40 years old and have no children before he can take a concubine.

This was naturally not in the interests of noble men, so they interpreted a new law that if a couple had been married for three years without having any children, the wife could take the initiative to take a concubine for her husband.

Qingliu disdained this and did not recognize this method.

Liu Mianmian came from a humble family. If she had met and gotten to know Han Xiucheng at that time, it would have been extremely difficult for them to be together.

"Your Highness the Princess means...Han Xiucheng abandoned his newlywed wife and fled to the border just to be with her?" Song Xiangyi sneered and said sarcastically, "What a love-struck man! I actually underestimated him."

Shen Yangui shook his head slightly, and said with some pity: "You really underestimated him."

Song Xiangyi felt inexplicably cold. She looked at the princess with a slightly frightened look, then looked at the eldest princess.

Lin An nodded.

"No, it's impossible..."

Song Xiangyi tried to pull the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Han Xiucheng didn't tell me about the co-wife right after he came back. He and the old lady planned it and kept it secret from me at first. If it wasn't for Lin'er telling me that his father and..."

Her voice stopped abruptly.

Shen Yangui and Lin'an looked at each other, and it seemed that the parties involved already understood.

When Liu Mianmian first entered the mansion, Han Xiucheng arranged for her to meet his son. Although they did not recognize each other, the mother and son were reunited. Liu Mianmian could not control her emotions. Han Linqiu could not stand the strong affection of a stranger, so he turned around and told Song Xiangyi.

Song Xiangyi's body suddenly lost support and she slumped down, muttering:

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it..."

The clear laughter of children came from the other side of the lake.

Shen Yuanyuan and Han Linqiu got a kite from somewhere, and they ran and made noises, with maids and servants chasing after them.

"I raised him single-handedly, how could he be their child?" Song Xiangyi was like an eggplant hit by frost, no longer able to speak, "I even wanted to endure it for him... How could they lie to me like this?"

Qiu Sui came in and whispered to Shen Yangui, "Princess, there is news from the front yard that the prince has executed Prince Han in public."

It seems that Jingming has already got the evidence.

In this way, Song Xiangyi's matter is a done deal, and there is no need to put on a show for Madam Han.

"I can allow you to divorce. After the banquet is over, you can pack up and return to the Song Mansion."

This was probably the fastest couple to divorce since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Shen Yangui paused and said, "You go back and prepare. As for Han Linqiu, I can give you a favor."

That was not Song Xiangyi's biological child, but she raised him.

Whether they want him or not depends entirely on their fate as mother and son.

Song Xiangyi supported herself and stood up straight, folded her hands, and slowly bowed down, "Thank you, Princess Consort, thank you, Princess Chang."

She took a deep breath and looked up at Shen Yangui.

"The accounts of the Duke's Mansion's income and expenditure over the years, the mansion's farms and shops, the entry and exit of personnel, and the exchanges with various mansions are all recorded. They may not be complete, but if the princess needs them, I can provide them."

This is really an unexpected surprise.

It is rare for a noble family to have a clean bottom.

There was either a problem here or there. Moreover, since he had the internal account books, even if there was no problem, he could find out the problem.

The Duke Su's Mansion has a century-old gate, which still exists today.

"it is good!"

Shen Yangui helped Song Xiangyi up with both hands, and asked Qiu Sui to take her back just in case.

Perhaps because she had been kneeling for too long, when Song Xiangyi stood up, her body tilted. The maid Ruixiang came in and supported her mistress, "Madam, be careful."

"It's time to change your tune."

Lin An just sat down and was about to pour himself a cup of tea when he saw someone coming outside, "Hey, isn't that General Shen's wife?"

Shen Lin is here.

"Why bother yourself when you know that what you want won't be satisfied?"

Lin An is a person who loves his wife and all his family members, and hates the same enemy as him. "Dong Xi, kick her out."

Shen Yangui smiled, "It's time to put an end to the grudge between her and me."

We will have to see this sooner or later.

"Let her in."

"Aunt wants her to die knowingly?"

Lin'an's tone clearly showed that he felt it was unnecessary.

Shen Yangui thought of her previous firm trust in her mother and did not intend to hide it from her, so he said, "If you don't have any other plans, listen together. If Shen Lin goes crazy, you can protect her for me."

"It's -- an honor."

Lin'an was very happy to eavesdrop openly.

She picked up the kettle and diligently added water to Shen Yangui, then poured herself a cup, and ate tea and snacks in silence.

Lin Huiru entered the pavilion, changed her usual demeanor, knelt at Shen Yangui's feet, and said respectfully:

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Princess, and to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

It wasn't that long since the last palace banquet. Shen Yangui looked at the person under his feet and added, "As the saying goes, 'things have changed and people have changed'. I didn't expect that nine years later, Madam Shen has returned to her sensible appearance when we first met."

She used the word "sensible" to distinguish between superiors and subordinates.

Just like Shen Yangui said before, "When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head," now Lin Huiru has to ask for help from others and she also has to bow her head and be submissive.

"I was blind to the value of gold and jade. I have offended you many times over the years. I owe you my life." She was actually a very proud person. At this moment, she kowtowed to Shen Yangui three times in a row, "I hope the princess can show mercy and spare my brother's life."

Old enemies, they understand each other and there is no need to hide anything.

Shen Yangui laughed and said, "Mrs. Shen is really good at joking. What can you pay with your worthless life?"

Lin Huiru clenched the handkerchief in her hand, "What does the princess want in exchange for letting my brother go?"

"When I first came to Beijing, I told you that my mother had no idea you existed in Beijing from the beginning to the end. She never thought of competing with you. At the beginning, the only person she hated was my father."

Shen Yangui said calmly, "You don't believe it yourself. You're afraid that we, mother and daughter, will take away your favor that you don't have, and that my elder brother and younger brother will divide up your son's family business."

"Anyone in my position would be uneasy and would not believe it."

Lin Huiru still feels that what she did was justifiable.

Shen Yangui did not argue with her about right or wrong, "Have you ever thought about who put you in that position?"
